The "Hero" Ingredients
- Bamboo Charcoal — Adsorptive Cleansing & Gentle Polishing
- Bamboo Charcoal is a carbon-rich material valued for its porous structure and adsorptive properties. Adsorption occurs when certain substances adhere to the surface of a material.
- In this cleanser, Bamboo Charcoal complements the surfactant system's removal of everyday impurities. Depending on particle size and shape, finely dispersed charcoal may also provide mild mechanical polishing during massage, helping loosen superficial skin flakes.
- The charcoal's actual exfoliating and impurity-removal performance depends on the finished formulation and should be confirmed through appropriate testing.
- Gentle Surfactant Complex — Effective, Low-Foaming Cleansing
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate and Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate work together to loosen and surround oil-based impurities, helping sunscreen residue, light makeup, excess sebum and dirt rinse away with water.
- Creamy Emollient Complex — Soft, Conditioned Skin
- Glyceryl Stearate, Glycol Distearate, Cetearyl Alcohol and Cetyl Alcohol create the cleanser's rich, lotion-like consistency. These ingredients provide smooth application and contribute to a soft, conditioned after-feel.
- Chamomile Flower Extract — Botanical Skin Comfort
- Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract contributes skin-conditioning properties that complement the cleanser's gentle, comfort-focused approach.
- Cucumber Seed Extract — Refreshing Botanical Care
- Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Seed Extract adds a refreshing botanical element and contributes to a soft, conditioned after-feel.
- Japanese Green Tea Extract — Antioxidant Botanical Care
- Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract contains naturally occurring antioxidant compounds that complement the formula's botanical skincare profile.
- Aloe Vera — Moisture & Skin Comfort
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice contributes moisturizing and skin-conditioning benefits, helping skin feel refreshed and comfortable.
- Glycerin & Vitamin E — Moisture and Antioxidant Support
- Glycerin helps attract and retain water, while Tocopherol contributes antioxidant properties that complement the formula's botanical and emollient ingredients.
Science Behind this Formula
CHARCOAL ADSORPTION MEETS GENTLE POLISHING & pH-CONSCIOUS CLEANSING
A satisfying cleanse should leave skin feeling fresh, smooth and comfortable—not stripped. CLC-FC3 Detox Charcoal Cream Cleanser combines Bamboo Charcoal, gentle cleansing agents and skin-conditioning botanicals for a refreshing, low-foaming cleansing experience.
Bamboo Charcoal is valued for its porous structure and adsorptive properties, helping complement the removal of surface impurities and excess oil. Its finely dispersed particles may also provide gentle physical exfoliation, helping loosen superficial dead skin cells and promote a smoother-feeling complexion.
A balanced blend of Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate and Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate helps wash away sunscreen residue, makeup, dirt and excess oil without aggressive foaming. With a mildly acidic pH target of 5.0–6.0, the formula is designed to support comfortable, pH-conscious cleansing.
Creamy emollients and Glycerin provide a soft, conditioned after-feel, while Chamomile, Aloe Vera, Cucumber, Japanese Green Tea and Vitamin E complement the formula with botanical skin-conditioning and antioxidant properties.
THE RESULT:
Skin feels cleansed of everyday sunscreen residue, light makeup, dirt and excess oil while remaining soft, smooth and comfortable. A charcoal-enhanced, low-foaming cream cleanser that combines effective cleansing, potential gentle polishing, botanical conditioning and pH-conscious care.
BAMBOO CHARCOAL + GENTLE POLISHING + EXCESS-OIL REMOVAL + pH-CONSCIOUS COMFORT
Direction of Use
1. WET
Dampen the face and neck with lukewarm water.
2. APPLY
Dispense approximately a quarter-sized amount of cleanser into the palm of your hand.
3. MASSAGE
Gently massage across the face and neck using light circular motions to loosen sunscreen residue, light makeup, dirt and excess oil. Avoid direct contact with the eyes. Do not scrub aggressively.

DAILY USE
- Use it as part of your daily cleansing routine to remove everyday buildup, sunscreen residue and light makeup.

- For heavy makeup, waterproof cosmetics or water-resistant sunscreen, a second cleanse or dedicated makeup remover may be necessary.
- Follow with a suitable toner, serum and moisturizer.
If the finished product demonstrates meaningful physical exfoliation, appropriate application frequency should be established through testing rather than assuming daily exfoliation is suitable.
PROFESSIONAL USE
- Use as an initial cleansing step during compatible facial treatments to remove surface impurities, sunscreen residue and makeup before subsequent skincare applications.
- Apply to damp skin and gently massage using circular motions.
